For in this modern world, the instruments of warfare are not solely for waging war. Far more importantly, they are the means for controlling peace. Naval officers must therefore understand not only how to fight a war, but how to use the tremendous power which they operate to sustain a world of liberty and justice, with- out unleashing the powerful instruments of destruction and chaos that they have at their command. —Admiral Arleigh Burke, USN, 1961 15 th Chief of Naval Operations
Chapter 6 Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response During the nineteenth and most of the twentieth centuries, the very thought that sea powers might regularly use naval platforms to deliver humanitarian aid, as opposed to cutting off and starving an enemy’s supply lines, would have seemed alien. In the twenty-first century, however, national power and prestige are more and more characterized by “soft power.” UNIFIED ASSISTANCE showed that “hard power” assets like aircraft carriers can also be the best providers of “soft power.” 17 —Bruce A. Elleman, Waves of Hope, 2007 Naval Historian Background On 26 December 2004 major portions of Southeast Asia were ravaged by a tsunami, a broad-ranging catastrophe that impacted thousands of communities and directly affected nine countries. Within days U.S. naval forces from around the globe were mobilized to provide aid. III Marine Expeditionary Force (III MEF) was designated as the command element for Combined Support Force 536 to conduct Operation UNIFIED ASSISTANCE. Twenty-two U.S. ships, including the ABRAHAM LINCOLN Carrier Strike Group, BONHOMME RICHARD Expeditionary Strike Group, USS ESSEX, USS FORT MCHENRY with a special purpose MAGTF, USCGC MUNRO, USNS JOHN MCDONNELL and six maritime prepositioning ships were diverted from their scheduled routes to render aid that included subsistence, medical support, engineering support, port hydrographic surveys and extensive debris removal. U.S. naval forces did not work in isolation; their immediate response evolved into a multifaceted effort that included other Services, other agencies, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), other countries, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and private volunteer organizations. Naval Service capabilities to establish maritime security and project combat power have repeatedly proven effective at responding to major Chapter 6 Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response
